Chapter 696: Chapter 14 Sumr, Swimsuit, Fireworks Festival! (Part 4)_4
“How long ago was that?”
“Not long, just over half a year.”
Shiyu Ling pressed closer and said dully, “Thinking about it now, you really were an idiot. You took so many precautions yet still trusted at the last mont… you had already won but planned to spare … suffered so many setbacks yet decided to help … even at the very end, you gave up the reward you deserved for … Why on earth were you so good to , you idiot? I just can’t understand why you didn’t take revenge.”
Gongsun Ce thought for a mont and said, “I fell in love with you at first sight.”
“Ah?!”
“The first ti I saw you, I thought ‘this sister’s tall, with great legs and a pretty face, just my type.’ I knew I had to win her over.”
“Liar.”
Gongsun Ce brushed her hair aside, gazing into her bright eyes.
“This sister is so bad. She betrayed my trust and attacked . I hated her so much I could grit my teeth. I planned to spend a lifeti getting revenge on her.”
“Liar.”
“I figured out the perfect way to get revenge that very day. If she hates , I’ll marry her and trap her in this Big Prison of a ho, make her unwillingly spend her life with ; if she wants to wander, I’ll shalessly stick to her like a clingy plaster, making her stay close to wherever she goes; if she wants to be a dark witch, I’ll make her wear a white wedding dress, have her soften in the midst of blessings and whiten her malicious ways into a cute young girl.”
Miss Witch’s face turned slightly red, Gongsun Ce had never seen her so shy. Shiyu Ling’s voice was barely audible: “…Lies, you’ve never been willing to tell the truth from the start.”
“True or false, that depends on you,” Gongsun Ce smiled and said, “If you believe, it’s true.”
“I don’t believe.”
“Wow, you’re such a tough woman, why are you so troubleso?” Gongsun Ce sighed, “By the way, I’m planning to move.”
“Why?”
“My current house is too small and doesn’t et your standards. Not only is the space too small, it’s also not close to a park, there’s no small storeroom or a bar for mixing drinks. Most importantly, there’s no room of your own, and with your independent nature, you definitely won’t be happy without your own space…”
Gongsun Ce rambled on, his words excessively verbose, but Shiyu Ling didn’t listen to the rest. She rembered that night outside Weiyuan City, the eve before they were to enter the city for their final battle, she drunkenly shared her little dreams with the youth beside her.
She hadn’t really taken her own words seriously, just spoke them as they ca to her mind, but he rembered them all, every single detail.
“…Honestly, finding such a place in Thorn District might be difficult, but I feel the Creation Realm’s fireworks seem too mild for your taste. How about we buy a small plot of land and build a house from scratch?”
“I hate your assumption, why do you think I’d live with you?” Shiyu Ling muttered, “Big sister here loves her freedom. I just co back a few days a year to freeload off you then leave… I’m a free-spirited Creator Realm Mage, nothing can hold down… Hey!”
Gongsun Ce kissed her cheek and said to the blushing woman.
“It doesn’t matter. You can go out for as long as you want, but I have to give you a place to co back to.”
His words struck her heart, stirring a warm current that spread through her bloodstream to every part of her body, shattering her aloof facade. Her body softened suddenly, nestling into the young man’s arms.
“Alright, you win, you have your victory, happy now?” Shiyu Ling said softly, “Your witch sister can’t seem to stay tough, completely defeated by your sugar-coated shells, do whatever you want with .”
“Not at all, I’ve been utterly defeated,” Gongsun Ce playfully declared, “I’ve always been your faithful dusty bunny, esteed mistress Alice.”
In the distance, the sound of sothing slicing through air could be heard as a brilliant light flew into the night sky, exploding into a radiant display of fireworks. The glow of the fireworks lit up their faces, illuminating their smiles.
“I love you, Shiyu Ling. Would you stay with ?”
“For once you’re not lying, I’ll agree… since I love you too.”
One after another, fireworks burst in the night sky, transforming into various fantastical shapes under the moonlight, like images from a beautiful dream. Beneath the night light, they kissed each other, their shadows rging together as one, never to part again.
·
By the ti they got back to the beach, the fireworks display was halfway over, but thankfully, the remaining fireworks were even more spectacular. The young people at the beach spent the remaining ti laughing and playing, using their magical powers for fun rather than fighting each other.
They spent a beautiful and fulfilling day, free from worries just like every sumr day, like a sumr night’s dream. And what made them happiest was that this was not a dream, but a real experience. The city, once chaotic and crazy, had slowly transford with their efforts and the efforts of many others, from a despised cage into a ho they embraced.
After the fireworks ended, laughter gradually subsided, and the night shrouded the sand and sea. The visitors said their goodbyes and parted ways, heading to their own hos under the city lights. This extraordinary yet ordinary sumr night quietly ca to a close…
